Chapter 2
It was the day of the first-year-students' field tests. About half the school was out their in the Obelisk arene, rooting for whoever was more likable. One more student turned up than expected. Chazz got a front row seat within the audience.
'Nice duel kid.' one of the duelists currently on the playing field said. 'But I'm afraid I'm gonna cut it short cause by sacrificing Aqua Spirit and Unhappy Girl, my Swordsman of Aile gains 1400 extra points for a total of 2200. Now attack his Marauding Captain!'
With that attack the remainder of the opponent's life points have been depleted. And the winner was Blair. As usual she made her duel the most interesting one that day, and some of the audience already thought about leaving. The first to do so, was Chazz.
Later that day while strolling in the empty hallway of the academy he ran into the two duelists he's watched play that morning.
'Nice duel you two…' he said. 'Nice and short just how I like em.' he finished, kind of humiliating the loser.
'Who cares about what you like Chazz?!' Blair siad, countering for her former opponent. Then they both left as they still had lessons that day.
Chazz moved along in the opposite direction as originally, but kept looking in the derection Blair's left. A few minutes of this was enugh to bump into someone runing his way.
'Sorry Chazz!' Syrus siad as they got back up. Behind him, was the usual group of his two friends along with Alexis.
'Where's the fire anyway?'
'We're going to the Obelisk Arena to watch the last field test duels.' Jaden said.
'Care to tag along?' Alexis asked.
'No thanks. I've seen some of the freshmen duel. There as big a disapointment as Sy. Oh I'm sorry. To be a disapointment you actually need expectations.' he said and left. This really surprised the others. They were sure he'd come if Alexis asked him to.
Chazz has finally reached his not-so-private mansion right next to the Slifer dorm. He lay down on his bed wondering what's gotten into him.
„Why do I keep thinking about her? Sure she's a good duelist, but still…"
Not coming up with an answer within half an hour made him decide to go wash his face, wich then turned out as a bath. He had been enjoying the warm water for another half an hour when came a knock on the door.
'Hey Chazz!' Blair's voice came from the other side. 'You plan on hogging the bathroom all day? P.E. just ended, so I could use it too… Badly.'
'Okay, okay!'
This situation made Chazz remember the day Blair moved into his apartment.
He had just arrived from the reconstruction of the Obelisk drom, all soaked in paint. Disposing of his clothes, he opened into the bathroom. To his surprise, he was greeted with the screams of the pubescent girl hid behind the courtin of steam.
He raised from the water annoyed that he couldn't shake this scene from his head. In fact, his imagination made it a lot less steamyer. These thoughts caused an unexpected reaction of his body. Whiping a towel tightly around his wiast he exited the bahtroom.
'It's all yours.' he said and rushed into his living room and started screaming at the mirror. 'What is wrong with me?!'
He didn't want to risk having the rest heard by anyone so he stared silently at himself thinking „she's too young for me to think about her like that… Well actually there's only 4 years between us… Was I just trying to convince myself?"
'Ojamas!' he yelled plunging into his bed.
'Hey boss!' Ojama yellow greeted as he and his brothers materialized. 'What can we help you…'
'Why aren't you bugging me?!' he cut him off. 'The one time I could actually use it and you're nowhere around.'
The Ojamas gave Chazz a confused look. Why would he ask them to bug him? The trueth is they were his last option of getting Blair out of his head. But as usual they were no help at all.
In an attempt to avoid going nutts, Chazz decided to keep as much distance from Blair as possible. He challenged Obelisk Blue students to duels to occupy himself, and to stroke his ego.
However his interest towards her had not decreased through days, thus he figured the only way he could redeem himself was by confronting Blair. Maybe all he needed was a good talk with her and it would end his lunacy. It was worth a try. As soon as he had planned that, he went in search for her, but could not find her anywhere. He soon ran into Jaden and his friends in the hallway of the main buidling. He figured he's likely to know where she was.
'Hey Jaden, where'd your little fangirl go?' he asked.
'Search me.' was his answer.
'Ain't that her just outside?' Syrus asked looking outside the window.
It really was Blair standing at the main enterance talking to two guys, surely not from the academy.
'My brother and I are here to challenge the school champion, Jaden Yuki to a duel.' one of the new-comers said.
'Didn't your friend Joky tell you? You gotta get through me first.' Blair said.
'Fine by us. But there's a condition. My twin and I always face our opponents together. So it's best if you choose a partner.'
'From what I've seen from Joky, I really don't think two on one would mean a disadvantage.'
'How cocky! If its really your desire, we'll both face you right now.'
Blair was about to accept the challenge but someone from behind surprised her by placing their hand over her mouth. It was Chazz.
'Could you excuse us for a moment?' he asked.
Having dragged her away from the two, Chazz started questioning her.
'Are you out of your mind?' he wispered. 'Have you ever fought a two on one duel?'
'What's it to you? You should be relleaved. If I do lose this duel, the privacy of your mansion will be restored.' she said, then walked back to her opposers and activated her dueldisk. Both boys did the same spredding a wide grin on their faces.
'Hold on!' Chazz interfeared again.
'What now?' Blair asked.
'Slight change in plans. You're getting a tag-partner to even the score.'
'Fine by us.' one of the two said, de-activating his dueldiks he walked over to him. 'Name's Shin. As in Shinaki Ubou.'
Shaking his hand Shin noticed how Chazz was glancing towards his partner.
'That would be my brother Zetsoi. Not the most talkative person in the world.'
'And it's also shortenned to Zets!' he cut in.
'Stop playing nice. Knowing your real goal it's kinda freaky.' Chazz siad.
'Oh yes, our goal. How about we come back next weak? That ought to give you time to prepare yourself.'
This sudden idea really surprised Chazz, but he didn't have any objections. Having accept the challenge both students returned to the main building. Blair's high pace gave Chazz the messege she wants some distance from him. Respecting her wish he's gone back to his room.
„This may not be the right time to talk to her." he thought, having gone back into his room. „But this tag-duel is the perfect excuse to have a talk with her whenever I want, so we can 'discuss our strategy'. Which reminds me: who are these guys we're facing anyway? Ubou twins?"
Sitting down to his computer, he typed the given names into a search engine and was given astonishing results.
